'Brooker's ability to represent such a wide range of literary and cultural texts within a coherent structure is no small feat. [...] The real strength of the book lies in its ability to provide such an impressively thorough account of a wide range of texts alongside some impassioned and convincing close readings of so many of them. Brooker is doing much more than simply defining, checking or expanding the shifting canons of eighties literature: his literary readings and his sense of the period make both available to us anew.'Nicky Marsh, Textual Practice'Joseph Brooker's book manages the admirable task of introducingandeven historicising a period whose legacy is just beginning to be understood. Ranging from Derrida to Duran Duran, he providesan exemplary work of literary and cultural history, while braiding politics and literature together inrevealing close readings of key authors and texts. This is abrave, lucid and richly informed book, necessary reading for anyone interested in understanding a tumultuous period inthe cultural history of these islands.'Ray Ryan, author of Writing in the Irish Republic and co-editor, The Good of the NovelJoseph Brooker relates developments in fiction, poetry and drama to social change from the new generation of London novelists such as Martin Amis and Ian McEwan to the impact of feminism in the fiction of Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson. Brooker also considers Black British writers and the fate of working-class writing in the age of Thatcherism. Literature of the 1980s provides a vibrant account of the diversity of writing from a decade which left Britain a very different place.
